- [announcer] do you have an invention idea but don't know what to do next? call invent help today. they can help you get started with your idea. call now 800-710-0020. thank you all so much for joining us tonight on cnn prime time, i'm laura coates. cnn tonight starts right now with the fabulous sara sidner. hey sarah. >> a girl, good to see. you >> have a great one, looking forward to your interview. >> me too, i can't wait to share that with everyone. thank you, laura.
8:01 pm
good evening everyone. i am sara sidner, welcome to cnn tonight. former president donald trump predicted he was going to be at the criminal investigation into election interference. tonight he is waiting to see if he will be indicted, the criminal investigation into efforts to overturn joe biden's election victory has been going on for months, the deadline for former president donald trump to respond to the doj's target letter is less than an hour away. that is tomorrow's news, tonight. also coming up, we have a stunning new developments in a murder case that has gone unsolved for almost 30 years. who killed tupac shakur? the hip-hop star died in a drive-by shooting in 1996 after he was leaving a mike tyson fight in las vegas. ever since the ministry has grown. now the police have searched the home of the wife of a self proclaimed witness to that shooting. what do they find? it tonight i will talk
8:02 pm
exclusively with a member of tupac shakur family. and, robert f. kennedy junior grilled by his democrats today on his past vaccine comments. he told them he's not anti-vaccine, despite his own words that say otherwise. >> i have never been anti vaccine, but everybody in this room probably believe that i have been because that is the prevailing narrative. antisemitism, racism, these are the most appalling, disgusting pejoratives and they are applied to me to silence me. >> all right, let's listen to what kennedy said in his own words just last week and comment exclusively reported by the new york post. >> covid-19, it is targeted to attack caucasians and black people. the people who -- are ashkenazi and chinese.
8:03 pm
>> all right, let's begin there with democratic presidential candidate robert f. kennedy junior, he has a long history of spreading vaccine misinformation, yet, in a house hearing today he claimed that he never has been anti-vaccine, racist, or antisemitic and things got heated wooden congresswoman, debbie schultz, called him on his comments last year suggesting that anne frank was in a better situation hiding from the not seized during the holocaust them people in the u.s. during the covid-19 pandemic. >> in discussing covid health measures, he made light of the genocide against jewish people that even in germany, you could cross the swaths of switzerland, or hide an addict like anne frank did. mr. kennedy, did you think that it is easy for the jewish people to escape the slaughter of the naughty's? >> absolutely not.
8:04 pm
>> do you think it is just as hard to wear a mask during covid as it was to hide under floorboards or false walls, so you are not murdered or dragged to a concentration camp? that is a comparison that you made. >> i did not make that comparison. >> the measures taken to contain the spread of fatalities related to covid were anyway at all comparable to the murder of 6 million, yes or? no >> absolutely not. >> joining me now, congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz. thank you so much for coming on the program. i want to start with this, it is wonderful to see you. i want to start with this. rfk junior may deny that he made that comparison, but let's go to the tape. >> even in hitler germany you could cross the alps into switzerland, you could hide in an attic like anne frank did. today, the mechanisms are being put in place that will make it so that none of us can run and none of us can hide. >> why do you think that he is backtracking when he is clearly
8:05 pm
on record with these dangerous conspiracies? >> well, it is worse than that, sarah. he's not backtracking, he lied under oath in front of congressional committee today. what do you have your statements on video, it is always bizarre to me when somebody denies that they said something that we can present them with the evidence that they said it. and i think that he is being called to account for the outrageousness of his holocaust comparisons when it comes to covid-19, and now he is engaged in horrific, repeated antisemitic tropes, and now chinese troops as well. just last week, it is just a constant barrage of antisemitism and holocaust references with rfk junior. you know, the republicans decided to have him as a witness, even though he has no expertise. and beyond that, his
8:06 pm
disinformation and misinformation is dangerous to people. to give somebody like that a platform is dangerous. >> let me ask you this, because there are always people on the right and left that sometimes they we are being censored, and rfk junior claims he is being censored. let me let you listen to this. >> the first amendment was not meant for easy speech, it was written for the speech that nobody likes you for. >> all right, so he is raising the question, and it is thorny, but whether or not misinformation and disinformation is protected free speech. how do you see it? >> well, there is a difference. he has the right in america to say anything that he wants, but the first amendment does have restrictions, the supreme court has ruled that. not of shouting fire in a crowded theater was cited by my colleague today. but you don't have the right to
8:07 pm
say what you want to say, and given a platform to amplify your misinformation and disinformation. congressional testimony, we are supposed to be hearing from people who actually have a direct knowledge about issues, you are going to bring about information to us and help us make decisions. what rfk junior is a conspiracy theorist who spews antisemitic and racist views that have no basis in evidence or fact, and the republicans only had him because they wanted to highlight him because he happens to be trying to run against president biden and they know that he is a conspiracy theorist and they wanted to use a so-called democrat to espouse, what they believe, is the conspiracy of covid. it is so dangerous, it is breathtaking. >> here is one of the arguments that he makes and others who support him make. it's not just republicans, but
8:08 pm
also democrats to be quite interested in his message, the polling shows support in a run for the presidency. why do you think that is? >> because his last name is kennedy, and joe biden, i am confident, it is going to be the nominee of the democratic party once again. he has done a remarkable job as president of the united states, he had the most sweeping legislation, has passed into law and was proud to support the inflation reduction act. the infrastructure and legislation, the chips and science act, we have had more jobs created by this president than any in modern times in the first term. and joe biden will be rewarded for those accomplishments. >> congresswoman schultz, let me just ask you, a follow-up. you said it is his right name recognition that has people interested, but he's been talking like this for a really long time and there are people who are really concerned about
8:09 pm
the vaccine and how quickly it came into use, and whether or not there isn't a sort of long term effect. i know scientists have looked at that and said this is safe and effective, but what do you say to those people who look at his record and they believe what he is saying and they support him? >> well, i mean, it's the united states of america and people can support who they want. but, if we are, if the republicans were really concerned about hearing from someone who actually knows something about the risks, the so-called risks, of the covid-19 vaccine than they should have epidemiologists and public health experts testifying in front of us, not someone who has this been used his information with no basis in fact. and, remember, what he has been saying, particularly the last week, was not about the vaccine. what he spewed last week was that of the covid 19 virus was
8:10 pm
bioengineered to go after blocks and caucasians and to spare as could naji and chinese people. it wasn't about vaccines, it was about the virus. so this guy is a conspiracy theorist loon who just spews horrific, unproven, unscientific information as if it is fact and then denies when questioned under oath that he said it, even with the receipts on video and in audio recordings. because it is uncomfortable to be called on your conspiracy theories when they are outrageous and offensive and antisemitic and vile. >> congresswoman daddy oschmann schultz, thank you so much for having this conversation with me, i appreciate you. >> thank you. >> all right, now i want to bring in cnn senior political commentator scott jennings and jay michaelson, a columnist for rolling stone, and rabbi. all right, i do have to ask
8:11 pm
this first, the very simple question. is what rfk is saying antisemitic? >> so, in his earlier statement that the virus was targeted in a certain way, of course, this is 1000-year-old antisemitic thing that simultaneously cause plagues, spread ply, expand our immune. as you said in the column that i wrote for cnn, when you play the conspiracy theory poker game, you are eventually going to draw a jewish card because this is a conspiracy that underlies all other conspiracies. qanon, the railing against soros, the elites in hollywood, these are all the same elites. for rfk junior, he knows this, he has to have known this. it's amazing, he completed in the testimony saying, well, this was based on the study by the cleveland clinic. the cleveland study had a scientific study, it didn't say it was targeted. it rains more in seattle than dozens of phoenix, but it doesn't mean there's a jewish
8:12 pm
conspiracy. for him to get out there, i admire his nerve to just say these outrageous things and boldly contradict his own testimony, as the congresswoman just showed, but it is outrageous that there is, i think, a double standard that one somebody who spouts antisemitic is useful to a party in power they get a platform and when somebody says something that may or may not maybe be antisemitic thinking, of the congressman from last week, they get sent spirit. this is a shocking display. i cannot think of somebody who has espoused such antisemitic ideas, getting this kind of platform. but i do have some advice as a rabbi, if you are thinking about if it's a good idea to make a holocaust in-ology, here is the rubberneck advice. do not make that analogy. there are certain things that are beyond comparison and it is absolutely offensive weather, i've heard it about gun control,
8:13 pm
covid, people on the right and left all the time, you hear it constantly and it is offensive every time it happens. >> scott, you made a face, don't like i didn't notice. well, i fully agree that antisemitism has no place in our politics i don't like it when it is platform. but did you also catch the news last week of the antisemitism going on in the fringe progressive caucus in the house democratic conference? this is a pervasive problem among conspiracy theorists but it does exist on the american left, and you do have and have had repeated episodes of antisemitism coming out of a handful of house democrats and they are repeatedly platform and exalted and -- >> scott there is no comparison between a statement that i think was out of line, saying that israel was racist state. that is a political statement, it's not one that i agree with. it is extreme, and i've said in -- >> let's just be clear, congresswoman jayapal said this. she then eventually apologized for it not long after. >> to be clear, rfk junior says
8:14 pm
he has apologized and walked it back. but to declare an extreme political statement with 1000 year old claim that you somehow engineered plugs to kill non-, that is a crazy false the cleveland's, they are totally different. >> no, your statement was that you would never heard of antisemitism being platforms like this in the u.s. congress, its platforms every day. >> that is only if you agree that a statement about israel, which again i'm not agreeing with that statement or endorsing, it is antisemitic. it's political, and to say that that is equivalent of about guy saying that -- and the outrageous nerve, that there is an orthologs -- that was one of the early covid centers. i know people who died from that community, so for this guy to get on, and you get a platform after saying that the are immune and that this was targeted and it's some sort of a bio weapon. i'm sorry, but to compare that one statement saying that israel is -- >> its not one state, that corner of the party makes
8:15 pm
repeated statements. >> let's not forget that china was also brought into this. many chinese people died in this and that can be seen as xenophobic, asian american hate, so that is also a part of this conversation. i do want to ask you using another jewish word, do you think the republicans are doing this to make joe biden fits? >> sure, they are doing it to troll joe biden. i don't like being affiliated with rfk junior, i'm glad that democrats have realized he is a crank and cracked pot and conspiracy theorist, but i'm old enough to remember when your employer platform his crazy ideas about the 2004 election being stolen. he has been a first conspiracy theorist and not for a long time and now democrats are upset about it today because it's running against joe biden. but this man was coddled in the fevers swamps of the left for years and now it is convenient to attack him. but republicans, and i want to be consistent, i was not for rfk early on, and i am not for rfk conspiracy today, i'm glad
8:16 pm
democrats finally got their. >> i want to ask, you scott, because i'm going to give you trouble now for going long, but why do you think he's getting the numbers he's getting? a 70% right now in the polls and if you go down, all you have to go back to look at some of the things he said. you look at his social media and you know exactly what he stands for. >> a couple things, number one, i think there is actually a segment of the american left that is anti-vaccination. there's also a segment of the american right, but i think that population exists in both parties. but mostly i think it is dissatisfaction with biden. there are democrats who do not want him to seek reelection, you can see it in any poll. whether it is him or someone else, they are looking for an off ramp and he is going to get that votes. it won't be enough to topple biden, but those people exist. >> i think that's right, look, there is a lesson here for democrats who i don't think are paying attention to the president meant that exists in the center. i don't care about the hard core right in terms of electoral politics, but in the center around covid and covid policies. there are some misconceptions that are now floating around
8:17 pm
that a lot of these policies did not do anything, whereas if you compare the actual death rates and lets a florida compared to new york to california, they did a lot. hundreds of thousands at least of lives were saved by some of the measures, which people did not like. but, democrats need to take this issue on squarely. shane should not sweep this under the rug and i think that rfk junior, for all of his deep flaws is speaking to a certain suspicion and discontent meant, with american history, and the democrats should own it and actually take it on because we saved lives. >> schools closed and businesses closed, that has been a big issue across the board for a lot of different people. thank you gentlemen for that very robust conversation. next, florida decides to change the way that black history is taught. we will tell you why critics say it is a huge step backwards. t we ended up using three times as much and the clothes still weren't as clean as with tide. so we're back wiwith tide, and the clothes are clean again. do 3x the laundry and get a tide clean. it's got to be tide.

new tonight, florida state board of education improving
8:22 pm
new rules for how to treat black history own public schools. the w andard say that students should learn that sled people develop the skills tt, quote, could be applied for the personal benefit. and, that duri lessons on acts of violence during slavery, teachers should include acts of violence perpetrated against and by african americans. let's bring in randall knedy, he's a professor at harvard law school and also the author of four discrimination, race, affirmative action, and the law. randall, i'm going to start here with the simplest question. can you make this make sense? >> well, it is a very bad situation. what is happening in florida is that political figures are trying to make a virtue of ignorance. they are removing from the classroom subjects that ought to be taught. there are educators in florida
8:23 pm
who would like to educate students about subjects like reparations, subjects like black lives matter, subjects like feminism and black americans thought, and they are being told to be quiet. they are being told, these educators are being told that they cannot teach their students about these subjects and that should be concerning for everyone. >> i do want to ask you why you think this is happening now. we have seen what some people have described as a white lash out after the election of barack obama and then you have the black lives matter movement from 2014 until date, to 2022 when george floyd was murdered by a police officer. why do you think this is happening right now that some of these things are being either taken out or watered down, as to what happened to black americans in this country? >> well, there is an immediate
8:24 pm
reason and a long term reason. the immediate reason is that there are political figures who think that doing things like this will help them. obviously the governor of florida is running for the presidency and he thinks that actions like this will rile up his base and so he is doing this to advance himself. there is a long term reason, the long term reason is that black history in particular has constantly been the subject of vilification, and black people in america have constantly had to wage a political struggle over their history. on the one hand the atrocities that have befallen them have been belittled, slavery,
8:25 pm
frankly, until relatively recently, slavery was viewed in some curricula as a school for civilization. segregation was viewed as a good thing. reconstruction was viewed as a bad thing. i remember, in my lifetime, -- >> lat all changed. at some point there was a change that where people saw themselves as more enlightened and demanded that we tell the truth about our history. why are we back here again in 2023? >> well there was some change, but it was not complete. in fact, one of the things that is happening now is an effort to complete the efforts made in the second reconstruction. the effort to complete the task of making this a full, multi
8:26 pm
racial society in which all communities are respected. that mission was never fulfilled and people are trying to fulfill it now and they are being met, as they have been met over the decades, with a desperate reaction against to trying it to make the society a better society. >> randall kennedy, thank you so much for coming on and spelling out for you is how you see this. i know you've been studying this for a very long time, i appreciate your time. >> thank you. >> anticipation is building for a potential third indictment of former president donald trump. but while everyone is waiting, special counsel jack smith is pushing on with this investigation. what smiths latest moves tell us about the timing for a potential indictment, that is ahead.

the clock is ticking, donald trump has just minutes to go to respond to the special counsel. so, what happens next? when will the former president find out if prosecutors are going to try to hold him accountable for attempting to overturn the 2020 election? let's discuss tomorrow's news tonight with former deputy assistant attorney general larry -- harry lippman. harry, we've got minutes left here for donald trump to respond to the grand jury. no one is expecting that he is going to do that and the special counsel's scheduling more witness interviews, we have learned, over the coming weeks. what does that mean for the
8:32 pm
timing of an indictment and is it certain that there will be, one in your estimation? >> yes. i can think of once or twice in my whole career that a target letter has not been followed by an indictment and here, this is not a kind of casual matter where doj would be considering it. it is a dundee,'ll it is already there is a model indictment drafted. it is already got up to garland and the whole brass, it is happening. now, the witness interviews are one thing, but you can do witness interviews after a grand jury has returned charges. so we do not know that, i think now he is ready to go. jack smith is all about speed right now and i think he's worried about the fulton county possible charges. i think the only thing left there is if trump wants to take an appeal, a final hearing and
8:33 pm
i think garland would have to insist that he would go to jack smith, that's a courtesy would forward him otherwise he's going to talk to other witnesses, but that is fine, you can do that. i don't think the grand jury's work will put any kind of brakes on him at all. he wouldn't have done the target letter if he were not ready to go. >> okay. can you give us some sense of what is going to happen as all of these cases start to clash. you have the case in new york to do with the stormy daniels money exchange, if you will. and you have the potential of georgia coming forward, any of the documents case that's going on right now in florida, they can't be alt-right at the same time, certainly? >> it is really true. there are civil cases as well and you have one, the e. jean carroll case, the judge said two will be tried. i think these will naturally separate. if they are really scheduled for literally overlapping time, one of them will give. but one reason jack smith is coming out of the box now is in
8:34 pm
order to be in the sort of position, it will be in a courtroom for this case where the judges are used to moving quickly and of the court of appeals also sort of fed up with trump and we'll move very quickly. so remember when the new york dea bragg brought charges, it was like totally consuming. but they have a way of separating out. now, i think for trump, they could be very close to one another, but i actually think that the charges we are about to see will be the first ones to go to trial and that will be before november 2024. >> okay, harry lippman, thank you very much. we will watch to see if your predictions come through, we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> just ahead, it's a question that has been lingering for almost 30 years. who killed tupac shakur? well, we could possibly, maybe getting closer to an answer that is a decades old mystery.
